althought. i'm going to the modified nationals this and will have my car there with the hyundi coupe club.

 

[super_s]

how much is the entry fee just visiting not for a stand

 

[James]

"One Day Admission (Valid Either Day) £18 in advance, £20 on the day."
So that makes it £36 for both days in advance, or £40 on the day.

Or there's the option of the "No Worries Weekender":

What you get:
Entry on both show days (normally £20 per day)
Campsite pitch
Admission to the evening entertainment on Saturday night (something suitably 'adult' themed)

What are you waiting for?

£50 each pre-booked or £55 on the day.

 

[Batch]

Would love to come but my Micra's looking a bit shabby at the moment, rust on the underside of the drivers door, wing mountings for the front bumper pushed out (since i argued with a curb), paintworks headin downhill fast, clutch is going i think.

Don't think my motor would add much to the stand if i did show, will try and get things sorted for JAE cuz i'm trying to spend money on the little beast every month now.

 

[quickdraw]

[Titch]

Do I?! That broke ma wee heart when i read that, having to leave college, cause i'm too ashamed to cry in front of my mates, and have now to go home, and strech myself (again).

:kungfu:

 

[SR_Micra_Boy]

Lmao.....

 

[Titch]

Bah, anyway mate, looks as if i will be down on the sat, till the friday.

 

[SR_Micra_Boy]

Wayne, wot days are u talkin about needin help?

If its the sat I could possibly pop down if the missus is ok with that.

'many hand make light work' and all that

 

[micra man]

Yeah, no problem. I'm guessing it's the interior?? Could come down Tuesday as long as my car's ready. I'll let you know.

 

[Ed]

Guys this should be DONNY SPECIFIC chat. Relating directly to the event. Wayne should make one in none car chat perhaps for people who want to help him fix his car. or K10 general.

 

[quickdraw]

it wasnt that i need the help. it was simply that they were coing to mine so i said they are gonna help out whilst here.

its ok neil im fine matey. not much to help out with
its all body work.
just may require titch and poss dan to help out ut interior back in with a few little extra creature comforts aswell

 

[RIK]

[G_Man]

[micra man]

Mine needs loads of work really. :s Not gunna get done though.

 

[quickdraw]

shurrup. u need hardly ne thing done!!!

just come look at mine

though it will be done in time and shining like my bum

 

[Kev]

Tickets arrived today and I will get them out in this evening post so you should have them well in advance of the show.

It's the usual position on the entrance, so Donny have been kind to us again with location, just look after you ears again lol!!! You should see where the TOC is, right smack in the bloody corner of the show and a completely different gate to the MSC, so in other words in a crap location!

Kev

 

[RIK]

cheers kev

 

[Titch]

Right, think i will be at donny now, but won't have the car with me, so hopefully will now get the chance to meet you all!
Think that i'm heading down with Chie and Ian, but nothing confirmed yet. Will let you know!
Titch @ Waynes :kungfu:

 

[Titch]

Right!
Now there has benn a major change of plan.
As you probally know, i'm down at Waynes this week, and was meant to be staying untill friday to help him get the K10 finished for Donny. But, due to major letdowns from:

A) Exhausts (powerflow) firstly saying they wouldnt have the custom triangle not being ready in time. He then got a phone call to inform him that the ramps had gone down! Thus meaning he wouldnt have ANY exhaust on in time!

B) Rear lights not turning up till late, thus meaning he would need to use standard lights! Again meaning that if he ever wanted to fit the custom ones, he would require another respray were the work had been carried out!!

So after discussion he has decided to pull out of being on the stand :down:

This is majorly since the decision originally to do the car was for HIS benifit, not for others. so has decided he will not cut any corners, and wont rush the job to finish, just to have it ready in time.
He is now gonna concentrate on getting it ready for HIM. Not for a show!

Spoke to ED on this situation. unable to contact KEV (Call Wayne when you can!) but come to the conclusion of possibly having my car on the stand (if not only for the saturday) but at least it means another car on the stand.
Titch :kungfu:

 

[micra man]

No way!!!

 

[Titch]

Unfortunally yes mate, it sucks.

 

[micra man]

Does, but I guess I can understand him wanting to do it right, so it will be looking even better for the other shows lol. Just a shame after so much prep though. :s He will still be there though yeah??
